Connecticut community college graduation spirals out of control after 2 families erupt in vicious brawl

Three people were arrested, including two from New York, during a wild brawl that broke out at a community college graduation in Connecticut — after lax arena security failed to stomp it out.

The commencement ended in chaos when two families allegedly started throwing punches that ignited a melee during the Gateway Community College graduation ceremony at the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater on Thursday.

Trump says Iran deal ‘largely negotiated’ including reopening Strait of Hormuz

US President Donald Trump says an agreement with Iran has been “largely negotiated” and details will be announced soon.

The deal would include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, he said on Saturday, without giving further details.

Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei earlier told state television that US and Iranian positions had been converging in the last week, but warned that did not mean agreements would be reached on key issues and accused the Americans of “contradictory statements”.

And shots were fired near the White House … but the situation is said to be under control

BREAKING: About 30 shots fired outside the White House.

Secret Service reportedly rushed the press who were on the north lawn into the press briefing room.

President Trump: Please Do Not Leave the Iranian Regime in Place

The Iranian regime is playing its game again: drag everything out to stay in power until the American public grows tired of high gasoline prices; or until the November midterm elections, when the Democrats might win; or until 2029 when President Donald J. Trump’s term finally ends and he is replaced, with luck, by an invertebrate.

Iran’s regime has been using two tactics. It says: “We need time. We are, because of the strikes, fractured and our leadership divided.” Or, as Vice President J.D. Vance naively noted on its behalf: it says it does not know what it wants. “The Iranians aren’t themselves quite clear in what direction they want to go,” Vance, with a straight face, told reporters at the White House; “they are also just a fractured country.”

Ford slams encampment ruling affecting Kitchener transit expansion: ‘It’s a joke’

Premier Doug Ford isn’t too pleased with an Ontario judge’s ruling about a homeless encampment in Kitchener, which has stalled a planned transit expansion.

Ontario Court Justice Michael R. Gibson said Waterloo Region would not be allowed to remove residents living at the encampment as part of a court ruling that came down Thursday.

The Ontario Superior Court has ruled that homelessness is a protected category under the Charter right to equality. I brainstormed a few ideas as to what this may look like in practice. Here's an extended example.

SHODDY! DNC ‘Autopsy’ Claims Most Media Outlets Owned by Right-Wing Republicans

While even Democrats are mocking the 2024 “Autopsy” report that’s been publicly released by the Democratic National Committee, the most mockable passage may be about the state of the media, complete with the assumption that the media owners are primarily right-wingers

Brampton homeowners bet big on large houses. Now, forced sales are on the rise

In one home for sale, giant photos of the Toronto skyline at dusk paper the walls of what might have been a rental apartment.

Another house is missing a fridge, but there’s furniture piled in the basement, including a mattress and bed frame.

Some other places have two-car garages; many have large secondary suites. All are mostly empty. On the doors, official notices warn against entry.

You can’t hate the Liberal Party enough.

A New Wave of Domestic Terrorism Coming?

It’s no longer in the public consciousness, but domestic terrorism was very much a thing in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s.

There is no one hard count, but in those two decades, about 20,000 bombings happened in the United States, with actual revolutionary groups trying to overthrow the United States government.

This is VERY bad.

A Toronto man found not criminally responsible for the unprovoked killing of an off-duty firefighter at a café in 2013 who “continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public” has moved out of hospital, only has to check in with his handlers every two weeks, and is now living in a residential facility that’s a quick walk or bus ride from the city’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

What Iranian Leaders Are Saying — or Threatening — as Trump Administration Seeks War’s End

As the American public waits for President Donald Trump to decide whether to attack the Iranian regime again or not, the Iranian regime has made its warlike intentions clear.

Trump seemed to be more in favor of striking Iran again as of Saturday morning, since he had canceled all his weekend plans and posted a map showing an American flag over Iran with the comment, “United States of the Middle East?”

Can a province just decide to leave Canada? Here’s what the law says

With the possibility of two separation referendums on the horizon, Canadians could be forgiven for wondering what would happen if voters in one province or another decide they no longer want to be a part of Canada.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has pledged that her province would hold a referendum in the fall essentially asking if voters want a second binding referendum on separation at a later date.

Ukrainian Canadian Congress pushes Ottawa to ban Soviet hammer and sickle symbol

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress is urging Parliament to outlaw public displays of the Soviet hammer and sickle, arguing the Communist emblem should be treated as a hate symbol alongside Nazi and terrorist insignia already targeted in federal legislation.

In submissions to the Senate human rights committee, the Congress said the symbol continues to represent both historic atrocities committed under the Soviet Union and modern-day Russian aggression against Ukraine.

I get it but half of Ottawa probably longs for the return of the Soviet Inion.

President Donald Trump shares video of him throwing Stephen Colbert in a dumpster as he celebrates the end of the late night show

President Donald Trump shared an artificial intelligence-generated video of him assaulting Stephen Colbert and throwing him into a dumpster to celebrate the comedian’s final show.

The feud between the Republican and the late-night host has long been documented, and it appears the president is nailing the coffin – or rather the dumpster – closed.

OTTAWA — Marilyn Gladu was planning to leave politics when she says a conversation with Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon changed her mind.

Gladu had a few offers lined up as she contemplated exiting her role as a Conservative MP, one she had held since 2015, and was pondering a return to engineering, a field she had spent years working in before entering politics.

US government releases UFO sighting reports – ‘Orbs swarming in all directions’

The Pentagon released scores of UFO files on Friday with descriptions of reported sightings of orbs, discs and fireballs spanning 80 years.

Witnesses described seeing “green orbs, discs and fireballs” dating as far back as 1948, the files show. More recently, a senior US intelligence officer said he saw “countless orange orbs swarming in all directions” last year rendering him “speechless”.

The fresh batch of materials includes a half dozen documents, a handful of audio recordings and 51 videos, including one of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) being shot to bits. The circumstances are unexplained.

This one is interesting.
